David Lee Cancer Center

Charleston Area Medical Center - David Lee Cancer Center

David Lee Cancer Center

Location:
Charlestown, West Virginia

Architect:
Stantec, Inc

Construction Cost:
$37 million

Project Size:
100,000 SF

Charleston Area Medical Center, Inc. (CAMC) is an 893 bed tertiary patient care and teaching hospital system in Charleston, West Virginia. CAMC is West Virginia’s largest Medical Center and among the nations’ top 10 heart centers in volume. In 2007, CAMC completed a Master Facility Planning project to determine the healthcare needs of the communities it serves in the years to come and to position the Medical Center to meet those needs both operationally and functionally. In order to meet the needs of the patients who require Oncology services, CAMC will construct a free-standing Cancer Center on property to the south of the Memorial Hospital campus. The project will be a phased project on a multi-building campus located across a four lane highway (MacCorkle Avenue) which runs parallel with the Memorial Hospital campus.

The first phase is a three-story, 100,000 square foot facility housing the David Lee Cancer Center as well as a Breast Center. The David Lee Cancer Center includes 25 infusion chairs, pharmacy and 18 exam rooms. Included as a second or third phase will be an Outpatient Imaging center to replace an existing free-standing facility adjacent to the Memorial Hospital Campus and a new radiation oncology center with four modular treatment vaults and one radio-surgery vault. Site development and parking will be developed to serve all phases.

West Virginia University Mary Babb Randolf Cancer Center

WVU Cancer Center 2  - Mary Babb- Copy

Mary Babb Randolf Cancer Center at West Virginia University

Location:
Morgantown, West Virginia

Architect:
Stantec

Construction Cost:
$17.3 million

Project Size:
86,300 SF

As West Virginia’s most comprehensive cancer treatment, research and education facility, the Mary Babb Randolph Cancer Center needed to enlarge its facility to accommodate increasing patient levels. This expansion project doubled patient care space and included a new tunnel and partial basement to allow the university to link services and utilities with the adjacent hospital. The expansion abuts both the existing Cancer Center and the Health Science Center and is built into the side of a hill resulting in both three- and four-story areas. Part of the expansion included removing the existing Cancer Center space frame atrium and renovating the existing structure to create a new second story level and a skylight roof. A balcony overlooking the new two-story space was incorporated to take advantage of natural light in the interior spaces. The facility has several prominent architectural features including a unique shape with curves and angles, an architectural eyebrow and canopies. SMBH was able to provide savings to the owner by selecting appropriate materials to allow architectural features to be incorporated into the building’s lateral load resisting system and reusing existing site elements. For example, concrete was selected for use at a section of solid wall transitioning between three- and four-story areas of the building. The wall acts as a basement wall to allow a smooth transition of exterior grade and is a shear wall used in conjunction with concrete elevator and stair shaft walls to resist wind and seismic loads as well as eliminate braced and moment frames. An existing concrete planter was salvaged and modified to create a dual shear and basement wall at the interior three- to four-story transition and reduce required site work and excavation. The site presented additional challenges for the design team in the form of pyrite content in the soil and low soil bearing capacities. Pyrites expand when exposed to water and air and have the potential to cause soil to heave and result in significant damage to buildings. SMBH worked closely with the soils engineer to combat these challenges. A deep foundation system consisting of caissons and grade beams was selected to provide adequate building support and prevent excessive settlement. Additionally, the soils engineer prescribed soil amendment procedures to minimize soil expansion due to pyrites, while SMBH developed special slab details to accommodate the expected movement and control potential damage to the building.
